Chapter 362: Murder and Prestige
When Qin Erbao fought on the front line of Huishan and caused the Qinwang army on the Nanjing side to retreat hundreds of miles.
The Gyeonggi region is also in full swing with the Huangzhuang recovery plan, but in comparison, Councilor Lu's murderous spirit is not as heavy as that of General Qin.
Of course
It's just, comparatively.
Southeast of Shuntianfu, Baodi County.
Lu Yu sat in the back hall of the county ya, next to him sat Yan Qinglai, the county magistrate of Baodi County, and the next position was Cheng Qiji, the county of Baodi County, and several people seemed to be sitting and drinking tea.
"Inform the councillor, this is the booklet of all the acres of land in Huangzhuang, Baodi County, a total of 323 hectares, according to the order of the council, all of them are now returned to the council! Because the land of Huangzhuang is fertile and the land is highly productive, the rent per mu is also high, and it is stipulated that the rent per mu is three buckets of grain, that is, one tael of silver, so far this year, in half a year, the total amount of silver in the grange is 16,000 taels of silver, excluding the loss and the officials, the people, the treasury, etc., should be spent 3,000 taels, and a total of 16,000 taels of silver will be handed over today! ”
In fact, in Qi Ji's view, whether it is the acres of land in Huangzhuang or the council, in the end, it must be handled by the grassroots county, and it is just a change of name.
Therefore, this scribe who has been in charge of the county affairs of Baodi County for more than ten years is not worried about his power in Baodi County being weakened at all - because whether it is the royal family or the parliament, people like them are needed to do things!
What's more, Qi Ji believes that there is no one in this world who does not love silver.
"Huh?" Hearing this, Lu Yu raised his eyebrows: "Spend three thousand taels in half a year??? ”
"Hey," the county gentleman shook the folding fan lightly, and the two mustaches at the corners of his mouth were about to fly: "My lord, these three thousand taels are yours."
As the county man spoke, the county magistrate on the side smiled, and handed the booklet in his hand to Lu Yu: "Councillor, the expenditure of three thousand taels is from the county, and it is actually filial piety to you, if it is calculated according to the whole year, it will be six thousand taels!" ”
Hearing this, Lu Yu was silent for a while, and then let out a low laugh: "In this way, you are busy working in vain, and I come here with a mouth, which is three thousand taels of silver?" ”
"My lord, as one of the seven councilors, and the confidant of the chief ruling lord, there are many people who need your help in the future, hehe, this bit of silver is nothing!" County Cheng Qiji obviously had more say than Yan Qinglai of Nazhi County, leaned over and said: "My lord, in addition to these three thousand taels, there is also the hard work fee given to you by Baodi County, which is also three thousand taels of silver."
When you first arrived, you haven't moved your mouth before you get six thousand taels of silver?
Lu Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at the county: "Baodi County, is it such a luxury?" ”
"It's not the luxury of Baodi County, it's because of the Son of Heaven, oh no. Because at the feet of the council," Qi Ji patted his mouth with a folding fan and said with a smile: "The wind and rain are smooth, and the people are rich and businessmen, so there is such a situation." ”
Bang bang bang.
"Hey," Lu Yu nodded, patted the folding fan in his hand, and said suddenly: "I said, under the feet of the council, the wind and rain are smooth, and you should get some more silver every year!" ”
Hearing Lu Yu's words, the county Cheng Qiji and the county commander Yan Qinglai on the side glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of pride that the plan had succeeded.
With 6,000 taels of silver to win the real power of the parliament, Wang Qi's confidant is very good-looking, it is simply too cost-effective.
"My lord, then you see, the management of the acres of land in this follow-up" Qi Ji smiled very flatteringly.
"The fields will not be managed by people in the future, but will be collected by the parliament and redivided into all households in the county, each household will be divided into fields according to Ding, and each household will be taxed according to the mu," Lu Yu's reply was very concise.
"Huh?" Not only Qi Ji, but even Yan Qinglai was stunned.
After a long time, do you still want to take back this Huangzhuang acre?
In this way, isn't there no cash cow for you?
Qi Ji's face turned pale in an instant: "My lord, there is your annual profit of six thousand taels here!" ”
"Six thousand taels I don't think Lu Yu can look down on," Lu Yu shook his head: "Within three days, each of you two will take out 100,000 taels of silver and hand it over to the council, which will be regarded as a debt waiver for the previous ten years!" ”
"One hundred thousand taels?" Qi Ji screamed and jumped up from his chair.
"Unwilling to give?" Lu Yu raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were already filled with murderous intent.
"My lord, it's not that the lower officials don't give it, 100,000 taels really can't be made up! Don't say ten years, just give it to me" Yan Qinglai, the magistrate of the county, got up and bowed to Lu Yu and said: "Give me another ten years, the lower officials can't be so greedy!" ”
"Someone!" Lu Yu didn't come here to kill time by drinking tea with these people.
Now, since someone has given himself an excuse, it is no wonder that he is ruthless.
As soon as the words fell, an armored soldier stepped forward with a knife outside the door.
"Stripped Yan Qinglai of his official robe, put him in prison, and announced that he would be beheaded at noon tomorrow in the county! Inform all the officials and officials in the county to come and take a look! ”
plopped, Qi Ji fell directly to the ground.
Cut off in three days?
Why do members of parliament kill so easily?
Isn't it good to rejoice and get rich?
"My lord, spare your life! I do! I'm willing to give!!! ”
Yan Qinglai was dragged down, and Lu Yu had no intention of continuing to talk.
Until the voice disappeared, Qi Ji was still sitting on the ground, shocked and shocked.
"Qi Xiancheng, do you still have any objections?" Lu Yu turned his head and looked at Qi Ji.
"My lord. Three days, three days, 100,000 taels of silver, both hands offered! Qi Ji nodded in a panic.
"Oh, that's right," Lu Yu nodded the table with his hand: "One more thing!" ”
"You say, you keep talking! The small ones are all copied!! Qi Ji knelt on the ground, eager to kowtow ten heads to Lu Yu.
Because, this lord is really going to kill!
In the past, Qi Ji and others called for wind and rain in Baodi County, and no one dared to resist at all, and the great eunuchs and field officials who managed Huangzhuang were also their own people, and it had been smooth sailing for decades, making Qi Ji feel that anything could be done with money, and anyone could do it by themselves!
Fang Cai, just Fang Cai, Lu Yu directly gave an order, Yan Qinglai wanted his head to fall to the ground!
Can Qi Jiyan do it all?
"The three hundred and twenty-three acres of the imperial village, I want them all, and in addition, you have waited for all these years, relying on the name of managing the imperial village for the emperor, and all the acres of land that have been annexed, forcibly occupied, and privately swallowed by me," Lu Yu looked down at Qi Ji, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of murderous energy: "You'd better hand it all over obediently, I'll only give you one chance, don't let me investigate, otherwise the consequences will be the same as Yan Qinglai, understand?" ”
"Understood!! The little one understands, and it is absolutely done properly, you can rest assured! Qi Ji knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Lu Yu, and after a while, a blood stain overflowed on the ground.
"Let's go down," in addition to Huangzhuang Tianmu, Lu Yu also sent someone to sort out the list of all registered farmers and all landless farmers in Baodi County as soon as possible.
"By the way, my lord," Qi Ji, who got up from the ground, was just about to leave, and then turned his head and asked: "The number one rich man in the county, outside the rest of the people, do you want to see it?" ”
"You have a grudge against him?" Lu Yuyi raised his eyebrows.
"My lord misunderstood, it's just that in the county's acres, his Yu family accounts for the most, but there are only more than 30 people, if it is newly divided, isn't it."
"It's just right, you go and inform all the landlords in the county who own more than 500 acres of land, and come to the county government tomorrow to see you."
Time waits for no one, in three months, there are five imperial estates in the entire Shuntian Mansion that need to be recovered, and now it is only the first one.
Lu Yu needs to be fast enough to cut through the mess!
"Let's do it!" (End of chapter)
